Thunder rumbled ominously overhead as rain began to pour, drenching Tiffany Kelley. She collapsed onto the
muddy ground, her body battered and covered in blood.
A woman loomed over Tiffany, pressing her foot against her back with a triumphant smirk. “Tiffany Kelley,
always too proud to back down. Fine, I'll break every bone!” she sneered, signaling the two men behind her.
Despite the relentless torture and her weakened state, Tiffany stubbornly lifted her head, hér eyes blazing with
defiance as she met the woman's gaze.
Though Tiffany was covered in blood and grime, her eyes burned with fierce intensity. They were vibrant and
alive with anger and hatred, and the sheer force of her glare sent a shiver down the woman's spine.
The woman hesitated for a moment, startled, but quickly recovered. “What are you waiting for? Throw her in! |
want to see how a dead woman can still oppose me!” she snapped viciously.
“Yes, ma'am,” the men responded in unison, moving swiftly toward Tiffany. They kicked her into the nearby
swamp as if she were nothing more than a discarded sack.
Tiffany felt the cold grip of doom tightening around her. Though unwilling to surrender, she could only curse
herself for falling into such a dire situation.
As her consciousness began to slip away, memories from her past flashed before her eyes.
Tiffany was the cherished daughter of the esteemed Kelley family, adored by all who knew her. But her life
unraveled when she made the mistake of trusting the wrong person

didn’t commit. This fateful decision severed her ties with her family, triggering a cascade of tragedies: her
father’s death from grief, her mother’s suicide in a fiery blaze, and her brother's poisoning, which left him mute
and mentally impaired.
Instead of the love and recognition for which she had sacrificed everything, Tiffany was met with cold disdain
from her fiancé. “Do you think you deserve it?”
The words cut deep, a cruel mockery of her sacrifices. ‘Deserve it? What a twisted joke, Tiffany thought.
As the suffocating mud closed in around her, she felt no fear. Instead, a bitter laugh welled within her, a final act
of defiance against the absurdity of her life. But the woman standing nearby wasn’t done.
With a triumphant smirk, she delivered one last, merciless blow.
“Oh, Tiffany, | forgot to tell you,” the woman sneered, her voice dripping with malice. “It waswho pulled the

poisoned him. As for that fiancé you loved so much, we've been together for years.”
She leaned in closer, her eyes gleaming with triumph. “You can only blyourself for being so naive, making it
so easy forto take everything your family had.”
As those words pierced her, Tiffany's body trembled violently, sinking deeper into the swamp. Her eyes,
Her eyes, wide with fury, blazed with unquenchable rage. A guttural roar tore from her throat, “Sandra Olson,
you'll die a miserable death!”
But her words were devoured by the swamp, emerging as nothing more than garbled gibberish as mud and
water filled her nose and mouth. The suffocation becoverwhelming, pulling her under until she was
completely submerged.
Everything went dark. Yet, the boundless hatred within Tiffany refused to be extinguished.
Another clap of thunder echoed ominously through the sky.
Tiffany felt a scream tearing from her throat, and then, suddenly, her eyes snapped open. Bright sunlight filtered
through the leaves above, casting harsh rays on Tiffany's face. She found herself sprawled in a field on the
outskirts of town, soaked and disheveled.
“Wait, this scene... Tiffany froze as the memory rushed back. She realized this was the day of her eighteenth
birthday when she had carefully planned an outing to confess her feelings to Kenneth Harper, surrounded by her
classmates and friends.
Tiffany vividly remembered how Kenneth had cruelly d her sincere confession. In front of everyone, he had coldly
said, “Tiffany, give up already. Even if you yet awkward were the last woman on earth, | would never want to be
with you!”
His harsh, humiliating words had shattered her heart. Devastated, she had run off alone, getting lost in the rain.
Eventually, she slipped, sprained her ankle, and passed out in the very spot where she now found herself.
‘How could | have been so pathetic?’ Tiffany thought, a wave of self-loathing rising within her as she felt the urge
to slap her past self. But as she raised her hand, she noticed something strange. Her hands were fair and
smooth, unmarked by the scars or excruciating pain from torture.
Sandra's
‘Wasn't I... dead? Didn't | die in that swamp on that stormy night? Or did | just...?’ Tiffany’s heart raced as she
hesitantly moved to pinch herself, trying to make sense of the impossible.
“Ouch!” Tiffany yelped as a sharp pain shot through her. ‘It’s not a dream, she realized with shock and disbelief
as she felt the pain. I've gone back in tto the day of my eighteenth birthday!”
“Oh my goodness! Thank God!” Tiffany burst out laughing, tears streaming down her face.
‘It wasn’t a dream. Everything that happened is still vividly etched in my mind!” Tiffany thought, reflecting on
her past folly. She recalled letting her cruel uncle, Stan Olson, and his family get close, which had allowed her
cousin Sandra to exploit the situation.
Tiffany had cto understand the depths of human cruelty and deceit. But now, none of the tragedies had yet
to unfold, giving her a chance to make things right.
“An eye for an eye! I'll make sure those who wrongedpay double!” Tiffany muttered as she wiped her tears.
Feeling her phone buzzing in her pocket, she pulled it out and saw it was a call from Kenneth.
